Get your California welding contractors license. Our program makes the licensing process very simple, which allows most of our students to get their welding contractors license within 6-8 weeks.
A welding contractors license allows a contractor to perform welding work that causes metals to become permanently attached, joined and fabricated by the use of gases and electrical energy, which creates temperatures of sufficient heat to perform this work.
